With what seems to be a sluggish sales from “Nexus One” Google (read Android) can suffer some setbacks due to massive interest to new Apple gadgetry. Do I mind? Not at all – I think this what keeps it all interesting

This morning I realized what Google Wave reminds me of. Imagine that you just walked into room full of people, something like an art exhibition. There are lots of people, all of them talking possibly about the same subject. There are all types of active conversations – some long, some short, some smart, some… mmmm… not so smart. But all you can hear is a cacophony

I was googling download link for Sun’s VirtualBox when my eye caught word “Teleportation”. Whatta? I thought to myself while following the link. I have not heard the word since my youth days of reading likes of Sir Artur Clarke.
Turned out – the teleportation is real. It is ability to move running! VM from host to host and it is now supported in VirtualBox v. 3.1.0! What downtime?

I had to figure it out today so I thought I’ll shared it with the world. So say for whatever reason you need to show or to hide a virtual (soft) keyboard in Android app. It’s not very intuitive but can be easily done:
To show
((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)) .showSoftInput(editText, 0);
And to hide:
((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)) .hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
